3) Close the lid firmly. But not too hard.

Caution: 

If the caddy appears defective (e.g., warped, cracked, or bent) do not
insert it into the drive. A defective caddy can become stuck inside the
drive, requiring the drive’s return to your dealer for service. If your caddy
appears defective, promptly replace it with a new one.

Handle the caddy as you would any precision component. 

Do not:

Allow moisture or dust/contamination either in or on the caddy.

Store the caddy in a location subject to direct sunlight, high temperature, or
high humidity.

Drop the caddy or subject it to shock.

Open the shutter manually. The caddy’s shutter opens automatically when
the caddy is inserted into the CD-ROM drive.

Loading the Caddy into the Drive

1. Open the drive’s door.

2. Carefully insert the caddy in

the direction shown, with
the arrow mark facing the drive.

3. Push the caddy into the drive 

until the caddy drops into place.

Hint:

You need use only one hand to 
insert the caddy into the drive. This 
is easily accomplished by placing 
the front portion of the caddy on 
top of the lip of the drive’s door. You can press down lightly to open the
drive’s door, then slide the caddy into the drive.
